Speaker 1 (00:13):
Good morning, John Jason from Wisconsin. Here the clip of
Rubio at the press conference. That's your next president of
the United States, My friend, thanks, great show.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Keep it up for.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
America at a time such as this.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
My hope for America and the same deal with that. Yeah, Look,
I mean my hope for America is what it's always been.
I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where
anyone from anywhere can achieve anything.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Where you're not limited by the.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin,
by your ethnicity. But frankly, it's a place where you
are able to overcome challenges and achieve.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Your full potential.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I think that should be the goal of every country
in the world, frankly, But I think in the US
we're not perfect.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Our history is not one of.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history, and
ours is a story perpetual improvement. Each generation has left
the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer, and
that is our goal as well. But it is a
unique and exceptional country. And as we come upon this
two hundred and fifty year anniversary. I think we have
a lot to learn and be proud of in our history.
It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each
(01:17):
generation has done its part to bring us closer to
fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had
upon its founding.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
And it's because Marco Arubio is serving in the role
that he is that continues to provide me confidence that
the Trump administration is doing the right thing for the
United States of America and will continue to do so
for the remainder of his term. It's our two here
on Twin Cities News Talking Am eleven thirty and one
oh three five FM.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
This is certainly more than I can say.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
For the judge who apologized to the gunman accused of
attempting to assassinate Trump at the White House Correspondent's dinner.
Here's how the whole thing played out via Fox News,
and they're reporting earlier this week.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Judge Za Faraqui apologize to suspect Cole Allen for the
treatment he's received so far while he's been behind bars.
He's been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections,
and the judge was asking why an attorney for the government,
said that he was put on suicide watch because he
told FBI agents the knight of the White House Correspondence
(02:18):
dinner attack that he didn't expect to survive, and his
language suggested that he really was not expecting to survive
his trip to Washington, d C. And the ultimate incident
where he allegedly showed up with a weapon to try
and assassinate President Trump. He's been charged with that crime,
but the judge very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying
(02:40):
the defendant has requested a Bible, has requested meetings with
his legal team, and that has not been allowed. He's
been put in restrictive twenty four hour lockup with no
windows in a padded room, without an opportunity to get
out for recreation. And so the judge making it clear
to the Department of Corrections that he wants answers by
tomorrow morning about exactly what the housing determination will be
(03:04):
made for the suspect in this case out of grave
concern about his constitutional rights, and that apology issued near
the end of the hearing, and so quite a moment
just moments ago in federal court. Bottom line, the Department
of Correction said they wanted to make sure that he survived.
That this is a high profile case, and all involved
acknowledged it is a high profile case. But again the
(03:27):
judge concerned about the treatment he's gotten since he was
arrested after the White House Correspondence dinner shooting incident.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Sander beck to you a lot of my people, you know,
and when you when you wonder, if you wonder why
it takes so long for the wheels of justice to
turn for people to be held accountable, I was hearing.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I haven't seen the story officially.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
I saw that conservative commentator in front of the show,
Dustin Gragi, had posted this online. But the Jake Lang
who ended up, you know, he's the conservative commentar or
his tactics crossed the line a lot of times.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
But I don't follow much of what he does.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I only became familiar with him when he came to
Minnesota to take advantage of operation atpic FIORI. But he
from the video of himself going and kicking over the
d ice sculpture.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
At the Capitol, and.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I guess he's facing like five years in prison over
I mean, over breaking an ice sculpture for crying out loud.
But this judge is a really good example of why
it's so hard with this double standard, this two tiered
system of justice, for people to be held accountable, because
when you have social justice adjudicators like this, we're going
(04:45):
to take sympathy with an individual who shot at a
federal agent and was attempting to assassinate the president. Yeah,
there's a problem. Let me add something to this. This
was a clip that's been floating around for the past
week or so. This is the Seattle Mayor Bruce Heral
during a press conference addressing the rampant crime in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
This is also part of the problem.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
The criminal system has had a desparate impact on black
and brown communities.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Let me lead with that.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
So, when this person is committing six or seven crimes,
I didn't know his or her story. Maybe they were
abused as a child, maybe they're hungry.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So my.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
Remedy is to find their life story to see how
we could help. First, I have no desire to put
them in jail, but I need to protect you. There
is no calibration in any of this. The only thing
correct that the Mayor of Seattle said was at the end,
you're right. Your job is to make sure the taxpayer
(05:45):
dollars are going to effective law enforcement so that when
individuals go and engage in commerce and entertainment and just
live their lives in Seattle, they can do so in
relative safety.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Your job is not to sit back and go to
the criminals you know here. Yeah, I know that you.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I know you robbed that liquor store at comepoint, But
can you tell me share how that makes you feel? Like,
how did you feel before it before you went in?
Show me on the doll where society hurt you. That's
not your job. That's the mayor's job. Now, that should
be up to judges. And yet, as we've displayed, unfortunately
(06:24):
you get social justice mayor warriors like the Seattle mayor,
and then on occasion you end up with these radical
justice adjudicators who end up being also part of the problem.
Let's get to a few of your thoughts on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Appagomoy John versus Shackby. Hey, you know, at moron judge
at apologize to that shooter. I'm wondering if he apologized
to all the j sixers that he filed charges against
store right talked about in derogatory terms, he apology for
the way they were treated in jail, put in solitary confinement,
(07:04):
and some of them didn't get to see lawyers for weeks.
What an idiot.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
The left is totally gone.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And then we have local items like this. So we're
gonna be talking with Representative Tom Emmer coming up. In
the closing days of DOGE, they made a quiet move
that may end up as one of its most lasting
impacts on the federal deficit. They exposed this home care
(07:33):
scheme stealing billions of hard earned money from people in Ohio.
This is a carbon copy of the fraud that's been
taking place here in Minnesota, and DOGE discovered it in Ohio.
It's one of the items we're going to be talking
about with Representative Tom Emmer. But speaking of Tom, I
often go to the Minnesota Reformer.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's a left wing publication.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
They have news daily and it's a really good opportunity
to go and hear from the left and how they
go and handle certain issues. They had an editorial that
popped up earlier this week. US Representative Tom Emmer is
the most on the civil poster of Minnesota's congressional delegation.
An analysis of every tweet of the Minnesota congressional delegation
(08:18):
in this past year shows as much. Okay, so this
is written by an individual who lives up in my
neck of the woods. His name is Chad Mitcheski. I
think that's how you say his name, mitchesk M A
s hk E. I'll get to more of Chad here
in just a moment. But he writes this after the
attack on the White House Correspondence dinner, speaking of which
(08:39):
House Majority whip Tom Emmer, who was there, told Fox
nine that we all have to do a better job
of watching the rhetoric in the wake of the attack,
voices on excited Democratic rhetoric as the cause.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Who's rhetoric?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I put it to the test with Minnesota's congressional delegation
four House Republicans, four House Democrats, and two Democratic.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Senators now listen.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
He specifically chose these groups of individuals to get the.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Outcome that he was looking for.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
There was no Keith Ellison included in this There was
no Governor Dim Walls included in his analysis. There was
no Peggy Flanagan included in his analysis. There were no
members of the DFL legislature included in his analysis. Nope,
just individuals who typically aren't that involved on next anyways,
(09:33):
talking about Senators Amy Klobushar, Senator Small Things, Tina Smith,
she likes to use a lot of profanity online. Representative
Betty McCollum, you rarely hear from her, Angie Craig and
Kelly Morrison. None of this is surprising when you compare
their posts with that of Tom Emmer. Now he goes
(09:53):
on in the post to go and demonstrate what he
believes are egregious commentary and rhetoric coming from Representative Tom Emmer.
But again, this commentary from Tom is nothing compared to
the individuals that I mentioned that is not included in
this piece. So why do I bring all this up?
Because chadmins mitcheske It's kind of an upbar. He posts
(10:20):
and has editorials in the Minnesota Reformer that are always
just about Tom Emmer. Why because the man has an
unhealthy obsession with Emmer and essentially runs an anti Tom
Emmer substack page. Mitchesky is a Blaine resident, constituent of
(10:42):
Minnesota sixth Congressional District, and he runs the m N
DASH six Watch on substack, an independent accountability publication covering
US Representative Tom Emmer.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
He just hates Tom. That's all that this blog is.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
All This blog is isad a sad and put display
of how this individual has an unhealthy obsession. He is
Emmer's foe of the legislature, and he had the dude
gets a voice post his ridiculous commentary of which people
(11:18):
probably just taken face value, probably don't bother to do
what I did and actually look at the motivation of
an individual like this who just has a grudge with
Tom Emmer and crafts almost every single one of his
editorials in such a way that it meets the desired
outcome of making Tom look bad, because that's what leftists do.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
We'll talk with Tom Emmer.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Next Congressman and goobernatorial candidate in Wisconsin. Tom Tiffany joins
us just after seven thirty and more of your comments
from the iHeartRadio app coming up on Twin Cities News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you
heard about that problem? He has a Tom Emmer derangement syndrome.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Have you heard about that problem?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
That is, as a very good point man, what's called
a Trump derangement problem. Have you heard about that problem?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Twin City's News Talk at AM eleven thirty and one
oh three five FM.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
My name is John Justice.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
We actually have representative Tom Emmer joining us right now. Tom,
you're probably for as long as I've known youil Goanna
guess you're probably not aware that you might be. I
don't know that you have a there's a there's a
substack from made by an individual who lives up in
my neck of the woods in Blaine that is essentially
(12:41):
devoted to you, has an unhealthy obsession with you, and
the substack exists solely to irrationally criticize you. I'm not
sure if you're if you're aware of this, Tom, and
good morning, Good morning John.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I'm not aware of it, and I.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Really don't give up.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, everybody's entitled to have their business. Say whatever you
want about me. I know who I am, and I
know I try to represent the people that put me
in the place where I'm at.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Well that's kind of what I figured, Tom, But you
know what, it does provide me the opportunity to have
quite a bit of fodder just pointing out how ridiculous
those on the left. Are you have your own dedicated
foe of Tom Emmer substacks, So you really have arrived there, Tom,
So good good morning, well apparent.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Apparently, but you know what, what I don't see, what
I don't hear doesn't exist, so good luck.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So I want to share this with you, and we're
going to talk about fraud.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I want to get into what happened with Doge in
these closing days before it wrapped up shop and basically
what they exposed in Ohio. A few things though, just
since we're here, I know you recently did receive an endorsement.
We wanted to talk a bit about that in m
N six. Should you want to mention that share your
(13:56):
thoughts on that briefly.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Tom, Yeah, No, it was great Saturday and Elk River.
We saw hundreds of patriots that are united in the
goal of holding people like Kim Walls and all the
Democrats accountable and continue to build on our America First agenda.
And it was great. John, Jackie and I really enjoyed
spending time with so many friends, and we received overwhelming
(14:20):
support for our re election. So I guess I'll finish
it with we can't take our foot off the gas
now or at any point through November. We got to
have every common sense Minnesota get out there this summer
and fall to help ensure that we elect Republicans up
and down the ballot and hold our majorities in Congress
to support President Trump and obviously to win a governor's
(14:43):
race and win majorities in the Minnesota House in the
Minnesota Senate.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well, speaking of Governor Tim Walls, I want to share
this with you. You may not be aware of what's
transpired this week here in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'll do the short version.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
So you had the temporary Commissioner of DHS Gandhi. She
was supposed to receive the full title and a confirmation
on Tuesday this week, right at the last minute, Walls
ended up demoting her and promoted this individual, John Connolly,
(15:16):
as temporary Commissioner. Now the whole process starts over again.
And of course Scherene Gandhi was the individual during Walls
administration who was there serving in that position when all
the fraud was taking place.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Here's the kicker, though, Tom she.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Was still She's still in DHS under a different title.
John Connolly taking over as temporary commissioner immediately is going
on medical ly for two months, and she has now
retaken over the position while he's out as a temporary commissioner.
I mean, this is such typical Tim Walls of fashion
Tom and I wanted to share it with you if
you hadn't heard.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh no, I've been watching this. It dumbtails in very
nicely with his garbage last week, he and Tim and
Keith Ellis And you know, when you've got the FBI,
the Homeland Security in the Department of Justice executing warrants
on over twenty Somali fraudster operations, autism clinics, leering centers,
(16:12):
or daycares, and what is his response? His response is, well,
that's because of the work we did. Well, you did
absolutely nothing, Tim, And what that tells me is you
are concerned about what they're about to find in all
of these fraud leyden operations that you have allowed to exist.
And so now they're looking for fall guys and they
(16:34):
can't even do that right this gall at DHS. If
she's ultimately the fall person, then why for goodness sakes, John,
do they demoter and then effectively what by acclamation put
her right back in with this other guy going on
leave the whole thing is a lot of It's a
(16:56):
shell game by Kenny Walls and corrupt Democrats, and they
put up shiny objects every day that our worthless media
follows instead of digging deep into the fraud that's there.
I mean, for goodness sakes, Ilhan Omar is right at
the center of it. And you don't see one iota
of news coming out of the Quinn Cities media talking
(17:17):
about how she has refused to allow people to investigate
her finances and all the rest, even though she reported
thirty million dollars for months as her assets and then
suddenly said it was a rounding air and adjusted it
under one hundred, even though she's in the middle of
the Somali feeding our future fraud. You see none of this.
And now now you I have been watching. Now you
(17:40):
have got Amy kloba Shar, Bless her little heart. She
goes out yesterday and she's going to get tough with
about what in God's name has Amy Klobashar said about fraud.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
In the past year.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Absolutely nothing, Minnesota. Minnesota should not be fooled yet again.
This gal is not going to change a darn thing job.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's it's tom.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
It was insane everything just she laid out with what
she wants to do with fraud.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
These are all things that they could at.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
The left dim Walls could immediately be doing now, or
the DFL could have done it during their time of
the trifecta when they had all the power. I'm one
hundred percent with you. Let me in the time that
we have, let's turn our attention over to DOGE. I
know that they're you know, closing up shop, but they
did publish this massive trove of data in February letting
(18:28):
the public see what companies are billing Medicaid for. And
they uncovered this scheme that seems like a carbon copy
of what we've been dealing with in various services created
by the DFL. But they uncovered this in Ohio home
care schemes dealing billions of hard working taxpayer dollars. What
are your thoughts on what Doze uncovered in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It's the same model that you got going on in Minnesota,
only on steroids. If you look in Minnesota, I think
it was twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, somewhere in there, you're
spending like in the single millions on Medicaid. Guess what
under Tim Walls within five six years, four hundred million
and growing. John These are organized scams. They are typically
(19:11):
being done in states that have gotten waivers from the
federal government to expand Medicaid beyond what it was intended for.
And in fact, it's so egregious when you look at
the information coming out of Columbus, Ohio. Literally these guys
were paying family members. So you've got a Somali applicant
(19:32):
who literally is feeding meals to their parent Allegedly they
are getting reimbursed by Medicaid for doing that makes it
flies in the sense of any common sense, and it's
insane that they've allowed to let it go on. By
the way, they may have closed down Doge Doze was
(19:53):
the great revealer of truth, but they have not stopped
rooting out ways fraud and abuse. In fact, the Trump
administration right now has figured out how to bring in
the biggest talent in the world to build these AI
systems to start rooting this thing out without human interference
(20:13):
or involvement, because that's what happens. Just like the Walls administration,
these corrupt people are going to try and protect themselves
and cover their tracks. When you start putting in AI
systems that are completely removed from any human emotion. You
start to get to the bottom of it. So this
is not the end of it. That was the beginning
(20:33):
of it, John, Representative Tom Emmer.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Let's end on a positive note before we cut you loose.
This morning just about out of time. But I know
that the hiring rate numbers for March were pretty phenomenal,
some of the highest nearly two years.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Am I correcting that, Yes, yes you are.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I mean this is the beginning. Look a look at
Jake Powell is no friend of President Trump's.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Last week, j Powell, after he made his surprise announcement
that he's not going to lead the Board of Governors
that the FED, was asked about.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
The economy, John, and he could.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Not say anything more about how great it is. He
went into the fact.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That billions of dollars right now are.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Being invested into manufacturing and all kinds of other things
here in this country, and those hiring numbers are reflecting
the beginning of that. That's why I've been saying all
these naysayers who say we are going to hold our
majorities come the fall, they talk about affordability. John, you
know what it's always been about the economy. Stupid affordability
(21:34):
is the economy, and that is what it's going to
be about again. And guess what as perception meets reality.
The fact that it is the economy is growing and
it is going to start to boom as that perception
of Americans actually intersects with the reality, We're going to
do very well in the fall. And keep in mind
all of this talk about gas prices, it's the only
(21:56):
thing they have to talk about because there's a lot
of good news in our me that they're not going
to report. And as soon as Iran has resolved, you
watch those gas prices come down very quickly.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Chat Representative Tom Emmer, thanks as always for the time
this morning. It's great to hear from you, and I
hope you have a fantastic rest of your week.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah you too, John, Thanks for having.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Me talk soon.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
So coming up, Congressman and Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany
will be joining us. There's an interesting piece in the
Star Tribune. Don't Minnesota, my state, the land of ten
Thousand Lakes becomes a political punching bag, And you have
individuals in Wisconsin worried that Wisconsin's going to end up
with fraud and situations that we've been dealing with here
(22:39):
in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I do want to.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Share this with you just briefly before we talk with
Congressman Tom Tiffany. I mentioned a moment ago the Sharen
Gandhi likely didn't have the votes for confirmation, didn't have
the votes demoted right before she was.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Supposed to be confirmed.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
You have another individual, John Connolly, acting as temporary commissioner,
and yet he now is going on medical leaf and
Sharen Gandhi is back in the same position. An hat
tip to Representative Christa Khannutsen for getting me up to
speed on this. Yesterday she posted this online. I wanted
(23:14):
to share it with you this morning here on Twin
Cities News Talking Again. Gubernatorial candidate Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany
joins us next on Twin Cities News Talk.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
Hey, Minnesota State Representative Krista Knutson. So the saga at
DHS continues. Yesterday I posted a video saying that Commissioner
Gandhi gone. Today I found out that Deputy Commissioner John
Connelly is going to replace her. John Connelly is out
(23:45):
on medical leave for the next six weeks. Sharen Gandhi
has been named temporary commissioner.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
It just never ends.
Speaker 10 (23:56):
It's like the days of our lives at DHS unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
We can't get rid of her. She keeps coming back.
It's insanity.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
Shari Nadi, temporary Commissioner now at DHS.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I am a halt.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Earlier this week going through the show prep for Twin
Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty one or three five
FM streaming worldwide on the iHeartRadio app. Remember you can
press that red microphone at any point if you're listening
on the app and leave us a thirty second talk back.
Those are brought to you by Lindahl Realty. I found
(24:38):
this piece of the Minnesota Star Tribune. Don't Minnesota my
state planned of ten thousand lakes becomes a political punching
bag after a tumultuous political year. The subheadline reads a
higher profile for Governor Tim Walls and problems with fraud
and state programs, Minnesota popping up as a talking point
in elections far beyond its borders.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The He's focuses on a Wisconsin.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
School board mailer, a mailer excuse me, endorsements from the
President and in Georgia, Ohio candidates pitching to become governor.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
The references are all stoking.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
The Minnesota Star Tribune article says becoming more like Minnesota.
As a matter of fact, one of these mailers, endorsing
Michael Alfonso of Congress, calling Minnesota full of fraud and
terrible leadership, also endorses US representative and gubernatorial candidate to
Tom Tiffany for governor. Don't let Wisconsin become Minnesota, says
the post from Trump's campaign. So you know what, it's
(25:36):
been a while since we've talked with Congressman and gubernatorial
candidate Tom Tiffany, So I thought, why not let's invite
him on and see how the campaign is going and
get his thoughts on this piece, and don't let Minnesota
don't Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
In my state.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Good morning, Congressman Tom Tiffany, thanks for joining us this morning.
Speaker 11 (25:52):
Good morning John, it's good to be back.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
What are your thoughts on this on this mailer? I mean,
I know you guys have your own controversies. We'll talk
about this in a moment with this Wisconsin ruralery owner
who apparently now was also running for a governor. But
I was curious to get your thoughts on concerns that
people in your state have of your state becoming like
what we've been dealing with here in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Congressman.
Speaker 11 (26:16):
Yeah, my favorite line is Minnesota's madness and illinois insanity.
Let's not make that Wisconsin's way of life. And that's
exactly what the left wants to do here in Wisconsin.
They do not want to have competition of free people
having opportunity to be able to choose what they want
to do with their lives. They want to have socialism
(26:37):
and all the other stuff that is destroying some states
across the United States, and we just don't want to
be one here in Wisconsin. I take it as a
real wine by the Star Tribune. Why doesn't the states
suppose a flagship newspaper rather than being like the fireman
that is standing outside of a burning building and whining about, well,
(27:00):
why did this fire have to happen today? You know,
why are we having to do this today? Rather than
turning the water on and putting the fire out. That's
what the Star Tribune should be doing, because your state
is in a world of hurt. And I say that
with no glee or anything like that, because I grew
up in the shadow of the Twin Cities in western Wisconsin.
(27:22):
I have lots of friends and relatives that live or
work or both in the Twin Cities and it's always
been a great place to live and work. But man,
things are not good. And if people think things are
bad now with some of the policies that have been
put in place over the last year, including like this
paid leave other things like that, I can tell you firsthand.
(27:47):
I have heard from companies that do business in both
Minnesota and Wisconsin and around the country, and while they
don't come out and say it overtly, you can tell
what they're saying. We don't know that we will be
able to stay in Minnesota. Why doesn't the Star Tribune
do something about that?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
What has been in your mind?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Like has there been a firewall of which between Minnesota
and Wisconsin where you and Wisconsin haven't dealt with the
similar issues.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Like let's talk about just fraud for a minute.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I mean, what have you guys faced in terms of
fraud and what do you feel the difference is as
to why you guys haven't had to endure in Wisconsin
similar circumstances of what we're enduring here and as we
were just talking about with Representative Tom Emmer, has now
been discovered in Ohio. You know, a massive amount of
fraud in a carbon copy in the way it's being
conducted to what's happening here in Minnesota. So why has
(28:41):
Wisconsin been somewhat different?
Speaker 11 (28:45):
We have the same problem. I'm not sure that it
was done on an industrial scale, which I think is
one of the best descriptions of the fraud that has
been going on in Minnesota. It was an industrial scale.
But we've got it too. And one of the commitments
I make as governor is we're going to audit every
single state agency in Wisconsin because I think it's instructive
(29:06):
what has happened in Minnesota. And in fact, we're already
seeing the leading edge of it, where like a gas
station in Milwaukee, for the course of three years they
laundered one point six million dollars of food stamp fraud.
So we got our own problems over here in Wisconsin also,
and I hold Minnesota up as an example that hey,
no one's immune from this, and we need to make
(29:29):
sure that we fix our own problems also. And I
can assure people that are listening that are Wisconsin residents.
I will take care of that as governor.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Talking with a Tom Tiffany gubernatorial candidates and Congressman, let's
talk a little bit about the competition.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
In the race.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I know there's some concern because one of the individuals
who's been polling very well is certainly leaning more towards socialism,
which is kind of part for the course for the
Democrat Party right now. But talk about this, this challenger
that you have in this in this race and what
they stand for, Congressman.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
For those that would appreciate this reference, not unlike your
Peggy Flanagan. The leader in the race is a woman
named Francesca Honk and she belongs to the socialist wing
of the Democrat Party. They have their own caucus in
the state Assembly. She is one of five members that's
part of the Democrats Socialists of America, and amongst other things,
(30:28):
she wants to legalize prostitute prostitution. That is part of
her economic development plan. She's one of the few people
that voted against stopping grooming of children in our schools.
I mean, it's as radical as you can get.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
John.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
How has your campaign been going, How has have the
voters been receiving your messaging, your plans, and what is
it that you currently need the most from you know,
voters in Wisconsin who support your run for governor.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
Ultimately, it is going to be about turnout and turning
out those conservative thinking people who.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
May not always vote.
Speaker 11 (31:06):
I think about hunters, I think about some of the
young people out there. We need to motivate them to vote.
But we've got a We got a great agenda here.
We saw the largest property tax increase in thirty years
in December, and part of that is because of Governor
ebs four hundred year property tax increase. He implemented a
(31:29):
four hundred year property tax increase. We're going to end
it on day one. After we reduce property taxes, we're
going to freeze them so people have housing affordability. We
used to be the second lowest in the Midwest in
terms of utility rates. We're now the second highest. People
are paying a lot more for their utility rates, and
a lot of that goes back to the whole wind
(31:49):
and solar and intermittent stuff. We're converting some of the
most beautiful farmland in the world, including right across the
border from you in Saint Croix County, it's got to
stop because that's driving up people utility rates. We're now
in the bottom ten states to start a new business.
When I was in the legislature a decade ago, we
had almost cracked the top ten with Governor Walker as
our governor and like minded people in the legislature. In
(32:12):
one just one governor has taken us to the bottom
ten in the United States. In the United States, and
that's where jobs go. They are leaving. They're going to
leave Wisconsin if we don't turn things around soon.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
I want to wrap on this talking with gubernatorial candidates
in Wisconsin. Tom Tiffany, I know recently you had the
opportunity and you were asked about the importance of gen Z.
You mentioned in a moment ago reaching young people, and
you laid out some of what your campaign is running
on right now. But now, more than ever, you have
(32:49):
a generation of young individuals that are distrustful of politicians
of the media right now, you know, becoming incredibly cynical.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
How do we go about reaching those individ those individuals.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
How do you share you know, the message of gubernatural
candidate Tom Tiffany in a way that it resonates with
that younger generation that is so reluctant to one engage
or to just trust in individuals who they want to
go and vote for.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
It starts with I am a long lifelong resident of
the state of Wisconsin. Grew up not far from you
in the Twin Cities, and I was a small business owner.
I got into politics later in life when I just
saw what taxes and regulations do to a small business
and what it does to people and trying to, you know,
(33:43):
just be able to lead their daily lives. That's why
I got into politics, not to make it a career,
but to do what is right for the state of Wisconsin.
I love the state of Wisconsin. It is a great state,
but we are slipping. And let's mak Wisconsin one of
the great states in America. And let's make Wisconsin a
(34:03):
state where these young people can build their future in.
Not just say I grew up in. I want them
to stay right here in the state of Wisconsin.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Congressman Tom Tiffany, gubernatorial candidate in Wisconsin, thank you so
much for the time this morning. It's always great to
speak with you, and continued good luck in your campaign.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Thanks so much. John Listen.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Speaking to gen Z, I mentioned this earlier in the show.
I want to share some of this with you. I
want to I have audio just as a bit of
a preview. I have audio from the California Governor's race
and specifically the Psycho gubernatual candidate there, Katie Porter.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We'll get to this coming up on Twin Cities News Talk.
You don't want to you don't want to miss this.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
But I mentioned at the start of the show, and
it's relevant to what I was talking about with Tom
Tiffany from the Daily Wire. There's a trend among major
recording artists are artists right now.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
It's dubbed blue Dot fever.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
It involves canceling shows you to poor ticket sales represented
by the empty seats.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Those are the blue dots.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Some are to cite personal reasons for the cancelations, but
fans are speculating that high ticket prices inconvenient locations are
contributing factors. The trend of spark discussions about the viability
of large arena tours and the need for more affordable
and accessible concert experiences. Some are just are upfront about
their reasons for canceling. Others offer thinly veiled excuses. You've
(35:28):
got commentaries from posts. Malone canceling the first few weeks
of his tour with Jelly Roll, saying, you want to
spend more time making music. But a lot of people
are speculating they simply weren't selling tickets. Megan Trainer, she
canceled her tour last month, saying she wants to spend
time with her family, but the same situation, people just
simply weren't buying tickets now and again, I know these
(35:49):
are artists. You might be going, well, why people want
to go see them? And needless to say, these are
popular individuals. They have a lot of our streaming. We
can't really point to record sales anymore. Even More recently,
the Pussycat Dolls canceled their reunion tour in North America,
except for one didn't give a reason for doing so.
And again, you have specific reasons for this happening. But
(36:11):
there's a larger issue at play here, and that is
when it comes to this distrust that gen Z has
in politicians. You have the majority of Americans just distrust
the media politics in general. People have become stricken with
and convinced that they're going to be disappointed.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And when we talk.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
About the lack of faith and trust in the media.
That's also politicians. That's also politics being downstream of culture.
It's happening in pop culture two now. Again there's varying
reasons for this blue Dot fever, but there's also this
fear that people have of one, well, I don't want
to spend this amount of money because things have gotten
(36:56):
too expensive when it comes to going and seeing concerts,
because this is how a just have to go and
make their money by going on tour because they don't
sell records anymore, and streaming doesn't bring in the dollars
like it used to. But in the world of instant gratification,
it's provided this incredibly cynical outlook on life, and people
are just expecting that they're going to have a bad time,
(37:18):
or if they're not going to be convinced of having
a good time, they're not.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Going to bother.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
And that cynical outlook on life, it kills any positive anticipation,
brings about a desire to nitpick and tear down politicians
entertainment content even before it's been released, because people just
simply don't want to be disappointed. I had a moment
and I won't say who it was, but you know,
(37:45):
somebody I work with, person I'm friends with, right, and
they came in and immediately were already questioning upcoming pop
culture content, saying, well, I just I don't know, you know,
with the characters that I'm seeing, I just don't I
just don't know whether or not I want to go
(38:06):
and you know, go don't want to go and watch
that particular piece of content, Like they're searching for reasons
not to like something before it comes out. And I'm
convinced it's because people have just become so cynical. They
don't want to be disappointed, and they won't allow themselves
to get excited about anything anymore. People are hesitant to
(38:26):
spend money, time and effort on that which they don't
believe is a sure thing. And the ven diagram of
pop culture and politics they're right on top of each other.
I think sport events are largely immune because you still
have that factor of the unknown involved, right, There's always
(38:47):
that hope, and the fandom runs so deep within sports
that you don't have that same.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Level of cynicism.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
But make no mistake, it's impacted sports as well. But concerts, Yeah,
they're too expensive and if someone doesn't feel for a
second like they're going to be missing out on anything,
or doesn't want to be disappointed after spending so much money,
they're not even bothering. And when you have instant access
(39:15):
to that which provides you a dopamine hit that growing up,
pre social media and smartphones, you had to go out
and find you didn't have.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
That instant gratification.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
You didn't have TikTok videos and reels and memes where
you could go and laugh and share with friends in
a moment or share with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
You had to go and find that.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Finding that was a part of the human experience, and
that part of the human experience is being slowly chipped
away at and destroyed. And unfortunately it's democrats that have
been able to tap into that. How do they tap
into that because they say they're going to fix your problems,
They play into the cynicism, They reinforce that negativity, They
(40:09):
promote that quick hit, that instant gratification. Don't adhere to
any other anything else beyond yourself. You are the ultimate arbiter.
Your feelings matter more than anything. They're able to go
and tap into it. It's why Katie Porter running in
(40:31):
the gubernatorial race in California is probably not only is
she the biggest threat to the citizens living in California,
she's also kind of a threat to the Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Because she puts on full.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
Display her ignorant, stupidity and bad ideas and doesn't try
to hide any of it. She basically tears off any
sort of cover of Democrats that try to go and
act like they're not ignorant, they're not stupid, and they
don't have bad ideas. She wears it like a badge
(41:04):
of honor for everybody to see. I'm glad that she does,
because she ends up becoming the poster woman for the
Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
And again because of that, she's just.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
As big a threat to Democrats as she is to
the people of California. We're tea, We're she too, heaven
forbid be elected as governor. I can't even imagine what
my father and my family are thinking if this woman
actually becomes the governor of California. Not to say Gavin
Newsom is all that much better. I will share with
you coming up some of her comments from the governor's
(41:36):
debate that took place here on Twin Cities News Talk
also Liz Callin from Alpha News. She'll be joining us
coming up just after a thirty this morning. We'll talk
about this story. It's available at Alpha news dot org
as well. Drinco de Mayo University of Minnesota frat party
gets hit with a bias report over Drinko de Mayo. Okay,
(41:58):
just what I thought that we were kind of done
with this sort of nonsense. Nope, there's too many organizations
and groups out there that need to go and manufacture
outrage over something as silly and dumb as Drinko Demayo
that you end up with controversy. And I'll share with
you the details next here on Twin City's News Talk
AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM
Good morning, John Jason from Wisconsin. Here the clip of
Rubio at the press conference. That's your next president of
the United States, My friend, thanks, great show.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Keep it up for.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
America at a time such as this.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
My hope for America and the same deal with that. Yeah, Look,
I mean my hope for America is what it's always been.
I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where
anyone from anywhere can achieve anything.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Where you're not limited by the.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin,
by your ethnicity. But frankly, it's a place where you
are able to overcome challenges and achieve.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Your full potential.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I think that should be the goal of every country
in the world, frankly, But I think in the US
we're not perfect.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Our history is not one of.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history, and
ours is a story perpetual improvement. Each generation has left
the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer, and
that is our goal as well. But it is a
unique and exceptional country. And as we come upon this
two hundred and fifty year anniversary. I think we have
a lot to learn and be proud of in our history.
It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each
(01:17):
generation has done its part to bring us closer to
fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had
upon its founding.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
And it's because Marco Arubio is serving in the role
that he is that continues to provide me confidence that
the Trump administration is doing the right thing for the
United States of America and will continue to do so
for the remainder of his term. It's our two here
on Twin Cities News Talking Am eleven thirty and one
oh three five FM.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
This is certainly more than I can say.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
For the judge who apologized to the gunman accused of
attempting to assassinate Trump at the White House Correspondent's dinner.
Here's how the whole thing played out via Fox News,
and they're reporting earlier this week.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Judge Za Faraqui apologize to suspect Cole Allen for the
treatment he's received so far while he's been behind bars.
He's been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections,
and the judge was asking why an attorney for the government,
said that he was put on suicide watch because he
told FBI agents the knight of the White House Correspondence
(02:18):
dinner attack that he didn't expect to survive, and his
language suggested that he really was not expecting to survive
his trip to Washington, d C. And the ultimate incident
where he allegedly showed up with a weapon to try
and assassinate President Trump. He's been charged with that crime,
but the judge very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying
(02:40):
the defendant has requested a Bible, has requested meetings with
his legal team, and that has not been allowed. He's
been put in restrictive twenty four hour lockup with no
windows in a padded room, without an opportunity to get
out for recreation. And so the judge making it clear
to the Department of Corrections that he wants answers by
tomorrow morning about exactly what the housing determination will be
(03:04):
made for the suspect in this case out of grave
concern about his constitutional rights, and that apology issued near
the end of the hearing, and so quite a moment
just moments ago in federal court. Bottom line, the Department
of Correction said they wanted to make sure that he survived.
That this is a high profile case, and all involved
acknowledged it is a high profile case. But again the
(03:27):
judge concerned about the treatment he's gotten since he was
arrested after the White House Correspondence dinner shooting incident.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Sander beck to you a lot of my people, you know,
and when you when you wonder, if you wonder why
it takes so long for the wheels of justice to
turn for people to be held accountable, I was hearing.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I haven't seen the story officially.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
I saw that conservative commentator in front of the show,
Dustin Gragi, had posted this online. But the Jake Lang
who ended up, you know, he's the conservative commentar or
his tactics crossed the line a lot of times.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
But I don't follow much of what he does.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I only became familiar with him when he came to
Minnesota to take advantage of operation atpic FIORI. But he
from the video of himself going and kicking over the
d ice sculpture.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
At the Capitol, and.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I guess he's facing like five years in prison over
I mean, over breaking an ice sculpture for crying out loud.
But this judge is a really good example of why
it's so hard with this double standard, this two tiered
system of justice, for people to be held accountable, because
when you have social justice adjudicators like this, we're going
(04:45):
to take sympathy with an individual who shot at a
federal agent and was attempting to assassinate the president. Yeah,
there's a problem. Let me add something to this. This
was a clip that's been floating around for the past
week or so. This is the Seattle Mayor Bruce Heral
during a press conference addressing the rampant crime in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
This is also part of the problem.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
The criminal system has had a desparate impact on black
and brown communities.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Let me lead with that.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
So, when this person is committing six or seven crimes,
I didn't know his or her story. Maybe they were
abused as a child, maybe they're hungry.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So my.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
Remedy is to find their life story to see how
we could help. First, I have no desire to put
them in jail, but I need to protect you. There
is no calibration in any of this. The only thing
correct that the Mayor of Seattle said was at the end,
you're right. Your job is to make sure the taxpayer
(05:45):
dollars are going to effective law enforcement so that when
individuals go and engage in commerce and entertainment and just
live their lives in Seattle, they can do so in
relative safety.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Your job is not to sit back and go to
the criminals you know here. Yeah, I know that you.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I know you robbed that liquor store at comepoint, But
can you tell me share how that makes you feel? Like,
how did you feel before it before you went in?
Show me on the doll where society hurt you. That's
not your job. That's the mayor's job. Now, that should
be up to judges. And yet, as we've displayed, unfortunately
(06:24):
you get social justice mayor warriors like the Seattle mayor,
and then on occasion you end up with these radical
justice adjudicators who end up being also part of the problem.
Let's get to a few of your thoughts on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Appagomoy John versus Shackby. Hey, you know, at moron judge
at apologize to that shooter. I'm wondering if he apologized
to all the j sixers that he filed charges against
store right talked about in derogatory terms, he apology for
the way they were treated in jail, put in solitary confinement,
(07:04):
and some of them didn't get to see lawyers for weeks.
What an idiot.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
The left is totally gone.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And then we have local items like this. So we're
gonna be talking with Representative Tom Emmer coming up. In
the closing days of DOGE, they made a quiet move
that may end up as one of its most lasting
impacts on the federal deficit. They exposed this home care
(07:33):
scheme stealing billions of hard earned money from people in Ohio.
This is a carbon copy of the fraud that's been
taking place here in Minnesota, and DOGE discovered it in Ohio.
It's one of the items we're going to be talking
about with Representative Tom Emmer. But speaking of Tom, I
often go to the Minnesota Reformer.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's a left wing publication.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
They have news daily and it's a really good opportunity
to go and hear from the left and how they
go and handle certain issues. They had an editorial that
popped up earlier this week. US Representative Tom Emmer is
the most on the civil poster of Minnesota's congressional delegation.
An analysis of every tweet of the Minnesota congressional delegation
(08:18):
in this past year shows as much. Okay, so this
is written by an individual who lives up in my
neck of the woods. His name is Chad Mitcheski. I
think that's how you say his name, mitchesk M A
s hk E. I'll get to more of Chad here
in just a moment. But he writes this after the
attack on the White House Correspondence dinner, speaking of which
(08:39):
House Majority whip Tom Emmer, who was there, told Fox
nine that we all have to do a better job
of watching the rhetoric in the wake of the attack,
voices on excited Democratic rhetoric as the cause.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Who's rhetoric?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I put it to the test with Minnesota's congressional delegation
four House Republicans, four House Democrats, and two Democratic.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Senators now listen.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
He specifically chose these groups of individuals to get the.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Outcome that he was looking for.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
There was no Keith Ellison included in this There was
no Governor Dim Walls included in his analysis. There was
no Peggy Flanagan included in his analysis. There were no
members of the DFL legislature included in his analysis. Nope,
just individuals who typically aren't that involved on next anyways,
(09:33):
talking about Senators Amy Klobushar, Senator Small Things, Tina Smith,
she likes to use a lot of profanity online. Representative
Betty McCollum, you rarely hear from her, Angie Craig and
Kelly Morrison. None of this is surprising when you compare
their posts with that of Tom Emmer. Now he goes
(09:53):
on in the post to go and demonstrate what he
believes are egregious commentary and rhetoric coming from Representative Tom Emmer.
But again, this commentary from Tom is nothing compared to
the individuals that I mentioned that is not included in
this piece. So why do I bring all this up?
Because chadmins mitcheske It's kind of an upbar. He posts
(10:20):
and has editorials in the Minnesota Reformer that are always
just about Tom Emmer. Why because the man has an
unhealthy obsession with Emmer and essentially runs an anti Tom
Emmer substack page. Mitchesky is a Blaine resident, constituent of
(10:42):
Minnesota sixth Congressional District, and he runs the m N
DASH six Watch on substack, an independent accountability publication covering
US Representative Tom Emmer.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
He just hates Tom. That's all that this blog is.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
All This blog is isad a sad and put display
of how this individual has an unhealthy obsession. He is
Emmer's foe of the legislature, and he had the dude
gets a voice post his ridiculous commentary of which people
(11:18):
probably just taken face value, probably don't bother to do
what I did and actually look at the motivation of
an individual like this who just has a grudge with
Tom Emmer and crafts almost every single one of his
editorials in such a way that it meets the desired
outcome of making Tom look bad, because that's what leftists do.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
We'll talk with Tom Emmer.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Next Congressman and goobernatorial candidate in Wisconsin. Tom Tiffany joins
us just after seven thirty and more of your comments
from the iHeartRadio app coming up on Twin Cities News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you
heard about that problem? He has a Tom Emmer derangement syndrome.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Have you heard about that problem?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
That is, as a very good point man, what's called
a Trump derangement problem. Have you heard about that problem?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Twin City's News Talk at AM eleven thirty and one
oh three five FM.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
My name is John Justice.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
We actually have representative Tom Emmer joining us right now. Tom,
you're probably for as long as I've known youil Goanna
guess you're probably not aware that you might be. I
don't know that you have a there's a there's a
substack from made by an individual who lives up in
my neck of the woods in Blaine that is essentially
(12:41):
devoted to you, has an unhealthy obsession with you, and
the substack exists solely to irrationally criticize you. I'm not
sure if you're if you're aware of this, Tom, and
good morning, Good morning John.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I'm not aware of it, and I.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Really don't give up.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, everybody's entitled to have their business. Say whatever you
want about me. I know who I am, and I
know I try to represent the people that put me
in the place where I'm at.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Well that's kind of what I figured, Tom, But you
know what, it does provide me the opportunity to have
quite a bit of fodder just pointing out how ridiculous
those on the left. Are you have your own dedicated
foe of Tom Emmer substacks, So you really have arrived there, Tom,
So good good morning, well apparent.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Apparently, but you know what, what I don't see, what
I don't hear doesn't exist, so good luck.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So I want to share this with you, and we're
going to talk about fraud.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I want to get into what happened with Doge in
these closing days before it wrapped up shop and basically
what they exposed in Ohio. A few things though, just
since we're here, I know you recently did receive an endorsement.
We wanted to talk a bit about that in m
N six. Should you want to mention that share your
(13:56):
thoughts on that briefly.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Tom, Yeah, No, it was great Saturday and Elk River.
We saw hundreds of patriots that are united in the
goal of holding people like Kim Walls and all the
Democrats accountable and continue to build on our America First agenda.
And it was great. John, Jackie and I really enjoyed
spending time with so many friends, and we received overwhelming
(14:20):
support for our re election. So I guess I'll finish
it with we can't take our foot off the gas
now or at any point through November. We got to
have every common sense Minnesota get out there this summer
and fall to help ensure that we elect Republicans up
and down the ballot and hold our majorities in Congress
to support President Trump and obviously to win a governor's
(14:43):
race and win majorities in the Minnesota House in the
Minnesota Senate.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well, speaking of Governor Tim Walls, I want to share
this with you. You may not be aware of what's
transpired this week here in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'll do the short version.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
So you had the temporary Commissioner of DHS Gandhi. She
was supposed to receive the full title and a confirmation
on Tuesday this week, right at the last minute, Walls
ended up demoting her and promoted this individual, John Connolly,
(15:16):
as temporary Commissioner. Now the whole process starts over again.
And of course Scherene Gandhi was the individual during Walls
administration who was there serving in that position when all
the fraud was taking place.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Here's the kicker, though, Tom she.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Was still She's still in DHS under a different title.
John Connolly taking over as temporary commissioner immediately is going
on medical ly for two months, and she has now
retaken over the position while he's out as a temporary commissioner.
I mean, this is such typical Tim Walls of fashion
Tom and I wanted to share it with you if
you hadn't heard.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh no, I've been watching this. It dumbtails in very
nicely with his garbage last week, he and Tim and
Keith Ellis And you know, when you've got the FBI,
the Homeland Security in the Department of Justice executing warrants
on over twenty Somali fraudster operations, autism clinics, leering centers,
(16:12):
or daycares, and what is his response? His response is, well,
that's because of the work we did. Well, you did
absolutely nothing, Tim, And what that tells me is you
are concerned about what they're about to find in all
of these fraud leyden operations that you have allowed to exist.
And so now they're looking for fall guys and they
(16:34):
can't even do that right this gall at DHS. If
she's ultimately the fall person, then why for goodness sakes, John,
do they demoter and then effectively what by acclamation put
her right back in with this other guy going on
leave the whole thing is a lot of It's a
(16:56):
shell game by Kenny Walls and corrupt Democrats, and they
put up shiny objects every day that our worthless media
follows instead of digging deep into the fraud that's there.
I mean, for goodness sakes, Ilhan Omar is right at
the center of it. And you don't see one iota
of news coming out of the Quinn Cities media talking
(17:17):
about how she has refused to allow people to investigate
her finances and all the rest, even though she reported
thirty million dollars for months as her assets and then
suddenly said it was a rounding air and adjusted it
under one hundred, even though she's in the middle of
the Somali feeding our future fraud. You see none of this.
And now now you I have been watching. Now you
(17:40):
have got Amy kloba Shar, Bless her little heart. She
goes out yesterday and she's going to get tough with
about what in God's name has Amy Klobashar said about fraud.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
In the past year.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Absolutely nothing, Minnesota. Minnesota should not be fooled yet again.
This gal is not going to change a darn thing job.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's it's tom.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
It was insane everything just she laid out with what
she wants to do with fraud.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
These are all things that they could at.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
The left dim Walls could immediately be doing now, or
the DFL could have done it during their time of
the trifecta when they had all the power. I'm one
hundred percent with you. Let me in the time that
we have, let's turn our attention over to DOGE. I
know that they're you know, closing up shop, but they
did publish this massive trove of data in February letting
(18:28):
the public see what companies are billing Medicaid for. And
they uncovered this scheme that seems like a carbon copy
of what we've been dealing with in various services created
by the DFL. But they uncovered this in Ohio home
care schemes dealing billions of hard working taxpayer dollars. What
are your thoughts on what Doze uncovered in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It's the same model that you got going on in Minnesota,
only on steroids. If you look in Minnesota, I think
it was twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, somewhere in there, you're
spending like in the single millions on Medicaid. Guess what
under Tim Walls within five six years, four hundred million
and growing. John These are organized scams. They are typically
(19:11):
being done in states that have gotten waivers from the
federal government to expand Medicaid beyond what it was intended for.
And in fact, it's so egregious when you look at
the information coming out of Columbus, Ohio. Literally these guys
were paying family members. So you've got a Somali applicant
(19:32):
who literally is feeding meals to their parent Allegedly they
are getting reimbursed by Medicaid for doing that makes it
flies in the sense of any common sense, and it's
insane that they've allowed to let it go on. By
the way, they may have closed down Doge Doze was
(19:53):
the great revealer of truth, but they have not stopped
rooting out ways fraud and abuse. In fact, the Trump
administration right now has figured out how to bring in
the biggest talent in the world to build these AI
systems to start rooting this thing out without human interference
(20:13):
or involvement, because that's what happens. Just like the Walls administration,
these corrupt people are going to try and protect themselves
and cover their tracks. When you start putting in AI
systems that are completely removed from any human emotion. You
start to get to the bottom of it. So this
is not the end of it. That was the beginning
(20:33):
of it, John, Representative Tom Emmer.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Let's end on a positive note before we cut you loose.
This morning just about out of time. But I know
that the hiring rate numbers for March were pretty phenomenal,
some of the highest nearly two years.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Am I correcting that, Yes, yes you are.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I mean this is the beginning. Look a look at
Jake Powell is no friend of President Trump's.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Last week, j Powell, after he made his surprise announcement
that he's not going to lead the Board of Governors
that the FED, was asked about.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
The economy, John, and he could.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Not say anything more about how great it is. He
went into the fact.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That billions of dollars right now are.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Being invested into manufacturing and all kinds of other things
here in this country, and those hiring numbers are reflecting
the beginning of that. That's why I've been saying all
these naysayers who say we are going to hold our
majorities come the fall, they talk about affordability. John, you
know what it's always been about the economy. Stupid affordability
(21:34):
is the economy, and that is what it's going to
be about again. And guess what as perception meets reality.
The fact that it is the economy is growing and
it is going to start to boom as that perception
of Americans actually intersects with the reality, We're going to
do very well in the fall. And keep in mind
all of this talk about gas prices, it's the only
(21:56):
thing they have to talk about because there's a lot
of good news in our me that they're not going
to report. And as soon as Iran has resolved, you
watch those gas prices come down very quickly.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Chat Representative Tom Emmer, thanks as always for the time
this morning. It's great to hear from you, and I
hope you have a fantastic rest of your week.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah you too, John, Thanks for having.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Me talk soon.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
So coming up, Congressman and Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany
will be joining us. There's an interesting piece in the
Star Tribune. Don't Minnesota, my state, the land of ten
Thousand Lakes becomes a political punching bag, And you have
individuals in Wisconsin worried that Wisconsin's going to end up
with fraud and situations that we've been dealing with here
(22:39):
in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I do want to.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Share this with you just briefly before we talk with
Congressman Tom Tiffany. I mentioned a moment ago the Sharen
Gandhi likely didn't have the votes for confirmation, didn't have
the votes demoted right before she was.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Supposed to be confirmed.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
You have another individual, John Connolly, acting as temporary commissioner,
and yet he now is going on medical leaf and
Sharen Gandhi is back in the same position. An hat
tip to Representative Christa Khannutsen for getting me up to
speed on this. Yesterday she posted this online. I wanted
(23:14):
to share it with you this morning here on Twin
Cities News Talking Again. Gubernatorial candidate Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany
joins us next on Twin Cities News Talk.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
Hey, Minnesota State Representative Krista Knutson. So the saga at
DHS continues. Yesterday I posted a video saying that Commissioner
Gandhi gone. Today I found out that Deputy Commissioner John
Connelly is going to replace her. John Connelly is out
(23:45):
on medical leave for the next six weeks. Sharen Gandhi
has been named temporary commissioner.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
It just never ends.
Speaker 10 (23:56):
It's like the days of our lives at DHS unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
We can't get rid of her. She keeps coming back.
It's insanity.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
Shari Nadi, temporary Commissioner now at DHS.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I am a halt.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Earlier this week going through the show prep for Twin
Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty one or three five
FM streaming worldwide on the iHeartRadio app. Remember you can
press that red microphone at any point if you're listening
on the app and leave us a thirty second talk back.
Those are brought to you by Lindahl Realty. I found
(24:38):
this piece of the Minnesota Star Tribune. Don't Minnesota my
state planned of ten thousand lakes becomes a political punching
bag after a tumultuous political year. The subheadline reads a
higher profile for Governor Tim Walls and problems with fraud
and state programs, Minnesota popping up as a talking point
in elections far beyond its borders.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The He's focuses on a Wisconsin.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
School board mailer, a mailer excuse me, endorsements from the
President and in Georgia, Ohio candidates pitching to become governor.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
The references are all stoking.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
The Minnesota Star Tribune article says becoming more like Minnesota.
As a matter of fact, one of these mailers, endorsing
Michael Alfonso of Congress, calling Minnesota full of fraud and
terrible leadership, also endorses US representative and gubernatorial candidate to
Tom Tiffany for governor. Don't let Wisconsin become Minnesota, says
the post from Trump's campaign. So you know what, it's
(25:36):
been a while since we've talked with Congressman and gubernatorial
candidate Tom Tiffany, So I thought, why not let's invite
him on and see how the campaign is going and
get his thoughts on this piece, and don't let Minnesota
don't Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
In my state.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Good morning, Congressman Tom Tiffany, thanks for joining us this morning.
Speaker 11 (25:52):
Good morning John, it's good to be back.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
What are your thoughts on this on this mailer? I mean,
I know you guys have your own controversies. We'll talk
about this in a moment with this Wisconsin ruralery owner
who apparently now was also running for a governor. But
I was curious to get your thoughts on concerns that
people in your state have of your state becoming like
what we've been dealing with here in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Congressman.
Speaker 11 (26:16):
Yeah, my favorite line is Minnesota's madness and illinois insanity.
Let's not make that Wisconsin's way of life. And that's
exactly what the left wants to do here in Wisconsin.
They do not want to have competition of free people
having opportunity to be able to choose what they want
to do with their lives. They want to have socialism
(26:37):
and all the other stuff that is destroying some states
across the United States, and we just don't want to
be one here in Wisconsin. I take it as a
real wine by the Star Tribune. Why doesn't the states
suppose a flagship newspaper rather than being like the fireman
that is standing outside of a burning building and whining about, well,
(27:00):
why did this fire have to happen today? You know,
why are we having to do this today? Rather than
turning the water on and putting the fire out. That's
what the Star Tribune should be doing, because your state
is in a world of hurt. And I say that
with no glee or anything like that, because I grew
up in the shadow of the Twin Cities in western Wisconsin.
(27:22):
I have lots of friends and relatives that live or
work or both in the Twin Cities and it's always
been a great place to live and work. But man,
things are not good. And if people think things are
bad now with some of the policies that have been
put in place over the last year, including like this
paid leave other things like that, I can tell you firsthand.
(27:47):
I have heard from companies that do business in both
Minnesota and Wisconsin and around the country, and while they
don't come out and say it overtly, you can tell
what they're saying. We don't know that we will be
able to stay in Minnesota. Why doesn't the Star Tribune
do something about that?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
What has been in your mind?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Like has there been a firewall of which between Minnesota
and Wisconsin where you and Wisconsin haven't dealt with the
similar issues.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Like let's talk about just fraud for a minute.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I mean, what have you guys faced in terms of
fraud and what do you feel the difference is as
to why you guys haven't had to endure in Wisconsin
similar circumstances of what we're enduring here and as we
were just talking about with Representative Tom Emmer, has now
been discovered in Ohio. You know, a massive amount of
fraud in a carbon copy in the way it's being
conducted to what's happening here in Minnesota. So why has
(28:41):
Wisconsin been somewhat different?
Speaker 11 (28:45):
We have the same problem. I'm not sure that it
was done on an industrial scale, which I think is
one of the best descriptions of the fraud that has
been going on in Minnesota. It was an industrial scale.
But we've got it too. And one of the commitments
I make as governor is we're going to audit every
single state agency in Wisconsin because I think it's instructive
(29:06):
what has happened in Minnesota. And in fact, we're already
seeing the leading edge of it, where like a gas
station in Milwaukee, for the course of three years they
laundered one point six million dollars of food stamp fraud.
So we got our own problems over here in Wisconsin also,
and I hold Minnesota up as an example that hey,
no one's immune from this, and we need to make
(29:29):
sure that we fix our own problems also. And I
can assure people that are listening that are Wisconsin residents.
I will take care of that as governor.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Talking with a Tom Tiffany gubernatorial candidates and Congressman, let's
talk a little bit about the competition.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
In the race.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I know there's some concern because one of the individuals
who's been polling very well is certainly leaning more towards socialism,
which is kind of part for the course for the
Democrat Party right now. But talk about this, this challenger
that you have in this in this race and what
they stand for, Congressman.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
For those that would appreciate this reference, not unlike your
Peggy Flanagan. The leader in the race is a woman
named Francesca Honk and she belongs to the socialist wing
of the Democrat Party. They have their own caucus in
the state Assembly. She is one of five members that's
part of the Democrats Socialists of America, and amongst other things,
(30:28):
she wants to legalize prostitute prostitution. That is part of
her economic development plan. She's one of the few people
that voted against stopping grooming of children in our schools.
I mean, it's as radical as you can get.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
John.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
How has your campaign been going, How has have the
voters been receiving your messaging, your plans, and what is
it that you currently need the most from you know,
voters in Wisconsin who support your run for governor.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
Ultimately, it is going to be about turnout and turning
out those conservative thinking people who.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
May not always vote.
Speaker 11 (31:06):
I think about hunters, I think about some of the
young people out there. We need to motivate them to vote.
But we've got a We got a great agenda here.
We saw the largest property tax increase in thirty years
in December, and part of that is because of Governor
ebs four hundred year property tax increase. He implemented a
(31:29):
four hundred year property tax increase. We're going to end
it on day one. After we reduce property taxes, we're
going to freeze them so people have housing affordability. We
used to be the second lowest in the Midwest in
terms of utility rates. We're now the second highest. People
are paying a lot more for their utility rates, and
a lot of that goes back to the whole wind
(31:49):
and solar and intermittent stuff. We're converting some of the
most beautiful farmland in the world, including right across the
border from you in Saint Croix County, it's got to
stop because that's driving up people utility rates. We're now
in the bottom ten states to start a new business.
When I was in the legislature a decade ago, we
had almost cracked the top ten with Governor Walker as
our governor and like minded people in the legislature. In
(32:12):
one just one governor has taken us to the bottom
ten in the United States. In the United States, and
that's where jobs go. They are leaving. They're going to
leave Wisconsin if we don't turn things around soon.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
I want to wrap on this talking with gubernatorial candidates
in Wisconsin. Tom Tiffany, I know recently you had the
opportunity and you were asked about the importance of gen Z.
You mentioned in a moment ago reaching young people, and
you laid out some of what your campaign is running
on right now. But now, more than ever, you have
(32:49):
a generation of young individuals that are distrustful of politicians
of the media right now, you know, becoming incredibly cynical.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
How do we go about reaching those individ those individuals.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
How do you share you know, the message of gubernatural
candidate Tom Tiffany in a way that it resonates with
that younger generation that is so reluctant to one engage
or to just trust in individuals who they want to
go and vote for.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
It starts with I am a long lifelong resident of
the state of Wisconsin. Grew up not far from you
in the Twin Cities, and I was a small business owner.
I got into politics later in life when I just
saw what taxes and regulations do to a small business
and what it does to people and trying to, you know,
(33:43):
just be able to lead their daily lives. That's why
I got into politics, not to make it a career,
but to do what is right for the state of Wisconsin.
I love the state of Wisconsin. It is a great state,
but we are slipping. And let's mak Wisconsin one of
the great states in America. And let's make Wisconsin a
(34:03):
state where these young people can build their future in.
Not just say I grew up in. I want them
to stay right here in the state of Wisconsin.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Congressman Tom Tiffany, gubernatorial candidate in Wisconsin, thank you so
much for the time this morning. It's always great to
speak with you, and continued good luck in your campaign.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Thanks so much. John Listen.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Speaking to gen Z, I mentioned this earlier in the show.
I want to share some of this with you. I
want to I have audio just as a bit of
a preview. I have audio from the California Governor's race
and specifically the Psycho gubernatual candidate there, Katie Porter.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We'll get to this coming up on Twin Cities News Talk.
You don't want to you don't want to miss this.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
But I mentioned at the start of the show, and
it's relevant to what I was talking about with Tom
Tiffany from the Daily Wire. There's a trend among major
recording artists are artists right now.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
It's dubbed blue Dot fever.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
It involves canceling shows you to poor ticket sales represented
by the empty seats.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Those are the blue dots.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Some are to cite personal reasons for the cancelations, but
fans are speculating that high ticket prices inconvenient locations are
contributing factors. The trend of spark discussions about the viability
of large arena tours and the need for more affordable
and accessible concert experiences. Some are just are upfront about
their reasons for canceling. Others offer thinly veiled excuses. You've
(35:28):
got commentaries from posts. Malone canceling the first few weeks
of his tour with Jelly Roll, saying, you want to
spend more time making music. But a lot of people
are speculating they simply weren't selling tickets. Megan Trainer, she
canceled her tour last month, saying she wants to spend
time with her family, but the same situation, people just
simply weren't buying tickets now and again, I know these
(35:49):
are artists. You might be going, well, why people want
to go see them? And needless to say, these are
popular individuals. They have a lot of our streaming. We
can't really point to record sales anymore. Even More recently,
the Pussycat Dolls canceled their reunion tour in North America,
except for one didn't give a reason for doing so.
And again, you have specific reasons for this happening. But
(36:11):
there's a larger issue at play here, and that is
when it comes to this distrust that gen Z has
in politicians. You have the majority of Americans just distrust
the media politics in general. People have become stricken with
and convinced that they're going to be disappointed.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And when we talk.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
About the lack of faith and trust in the media.
That's also politicians. That's also politics being downstream of culture.
It's happening in pop culture two now. Again there's varying
reasons for this blue Dot fever, but there's also this
fear that people have of one, well, I don't want
to spend this amount of money because things have gotten
(36:56):
too expensive when it comes to going and seeing concerts,
because this is how a just have to go and
make their money by going on tour because they don't
sell records anymore, and streaming doesn't bring in the dollars
like it used to. But in the world of instant gratification,
it's provided this incredibly cynical outlook on life, and people
are just expecting that they're going to have a bad time,
(37:18):
or if they're not going to be convinced of having
a good time, they're not.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Going to bother.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
And that cynical outlook on life, it kills any positive anticipation,
brings about a desire to nitpick and tear down politicians
entertainment content even before it's been released, because people just
simply don't want to be disappointed. I had a moment
and I won't say who it was, but you know,
(37:45):
somebody I work with, person I'm friends with, right, and
they came in and immediately were already questioning upcoming pop
culture content, saying, well, I just I don't know, you know,
with the characters that I'm seeing, I just don't I
just don't know whether or not I want to go
(38:06):
and you know, go don't want to go and watch
that particular piece of content, Like they're searching for reasons
not to like something before it comes out. And I'm
convinced it's because people have just become so cynical. They
don't want to be disappointed, and they won't allow themselves
to get excited about anything anymore. People are hesitant to
(38:26):
spend money, time and effort on that which they don't
believe is a sure thing. And the ven diagram of
pop culture and politics they're right on top of each other.
I think sport events are largely immune because you still
have that factor of the unknown involved, right, There's always
(38:47):
that hope, and the fandom runs so deep within sports
that you don't have that same.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Level of cynicism.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
But make no mistake, it's impacted sports as well. But concerts, Yeah,
they're too expensive and if someone doesn't feel for a
second like they're going to be missing out on anything,
or doesn't want to be disappointed after spending so much money,
they're not even bothering. And when you have instant access
(39:15):
to that which provides you a dopamine hit that growing up,
pre social media and smartphones, you had to go out
and find you didn't have.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
That instant gratification.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
You didn't have TikTok videos and reels and memes where
you could go and laugh and share with friends in
a moment or share with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
You had to go and find that.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Finding that was a part of the human experience, and
that part of the human experience is being slowly chipped
away at and destroyed. And unfortunately it's democrats that have
been able to tap into that. How do they tap
into that because they say they're going to fix your problems,
They play into the cynicism, They reinforce that negativity, They
(40:09):
promote that quick hit, that instant gratification. Don't adhere to
any other anything else beyond yourself. You are the ultimate arbiter.
Your feelings matter more than anything. They're able to go
and tap into it. It's why Katie Porter running in
(40:31):
the gubernatorial race in California is probably not only is
she the biggest threat to the citizens living in California,
she's also kind of a threat to the Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Because she puts on full.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
Display her ignorant, stupidity and bad ideas and doesn't try
to hide any of it. She basically tears off any
sort of cover of Democrats that try to go and
act like they're not ignorant, they're not stupid, and they
don't have bad ideas. She wears it like a badge
(41:04):

Speaker 5 (41:15):
As big a threat to Democrats as she is to
the people of California. We're tea, We're she too, heaven
forbid be elected as governor. I can't even imagine what
my father and my family are thinking if this woman
actually becomes the governor of California. Not to say Gavin
Newsom is all that much better. I will share with
you coming up some of her comments from the governor's
(41:36):
debate that took place here on Twin Cities News Talk
also Liz Callin from Alpha News. She'll be joining us
coming up just after a thirty this morning. We'll talk
about this story. It's available at Alpha news dot org
as well. Drinco de Mayo University of Minnesota frat party
gets hit with a bias report over Drinko de Mayo. Okay,
(41:58):
just what I thought that we were kind of done
with this sort of nonsense. Nope, there's too many organizations
and groups out there that need to go and manufacture
outrage over something as silly and dumb as Drinko Demayo
that you end up with controversy. And I'll share with
you the details next here on Twin City's News Talk
